Seth Rollins appreciation thread: The Messiah, The Savior, The Architect

[Mox Girl]

My Messiah shirts arrived this morning

It's funny cos I had plans to make a SETH IS MY MESSIAH sign for Summerslam and the live event which now won't be happening (boo) and then WWE brings out this shirt. I could have worn the shirt and held the sign haha,

6 years ago tonight, Seth won the 2014 MITB briefcase. This past Christmas, I posted a pic of Seth's ring-worn 2014 MITB Kickpads that I got for Christmas:



This match also features one of my favorite bumps of all time:

Not only hitting the ladder on his back, but after that, if you watch closely, before he lands on the ring floor, his head hits the bottom step of the other ladder. Insane stuff. Such a great match:

BTW, that Seth/Rey video package they aired tonight before the match was excellent. Love these pics from it:

For the Rollins fans in here with a little Big E Langston, back when I used to go to the NXT Shows on the regular.

I love this Rob Schamberger print so much, it would be perfect for my collection of his prints (I have 5 already lol), but it doesn't ship outside the USA so I can't have it

I have no idea what this, but thought I'd share it anyway:

10 YEARS AGO TODAY, Seth signed his WWE Developmental contract. Thank God, or I might not be watching WWE today:

Cool SB Nation headline of an article from when Seth first signed with WWE 10 years ago yesterday when he was ROH World Champion:

One year ago today, Seth beat Brock at SummerSlam 2019 for the WWE Title. I've never seen it happen where a crowd boos the guy pretty loudly during that guy's entrance, only for them to start cheering him mid-way through the match (and it's not eve a long match, just 13 minutes and 25 seconds) and give him a loud, long evation AFTER the match. And Toronto is a smark crowd, too. Incredible performance and babyface work by Seth, and incredible match, in general:

Definitely one of my top 10 matches on 2019 and a great example of what Seth is capable of at his best.

I'm really looking forward to this match at SS. The build has been absolutely fantastic. You can make an argument it began on the Raw the night after last year's Survivor Series when Seth officially turned heel when he cut that promo in the ring with the Raw roster standing on the outside of the ring and he blamed Rey for losing when he said, "I beat Brock Lesnar not once, but twice and brought the title back to Raw. You couldn't even get the job done with a steel pipe and your stupid kid!" Love that line. The build since then has been so well written unlike most stuff in WWE. I don't even care if Seth loses at this point. He took out a legend's eye last month, won the match. This is gonna be street fight and I have a feeling it's gonna be awesome. The fact that WWE and Rey himself trust Seth enough to make Dom look good and get him over speaks VOLUMES to how highly Seth is perceived in WWE. I'm really looking forward to it due to the great build. Seth is bulletproof at this point with wins and losses. He's still gonna be over no matter what. It also helps that this might be the best run of his career. Mic work, character work, matches, everything has been on for him.

Yet another Seth WWE Youtube video from this feud, last night's segment, well over a million views already; 1.37 million views already, well less than 24 hours from when the video was uploaded. This feud is certainly has the interest of fans. And it deserves it, it's been extremely well-written by whoever is writing and well-performed by Seth, Dominick, Buddy, and Rey. Just an excellent story being told here. Credit to Dominick, especially. He is still so green in experience but has performed extremely well with what they've asked him to do. Sure, last week, they had Samoa Joe do most of his promo during the contract signing (and, of course, Joe did great, no shock there). But thus far, with everything they've had Dominick due, he's performed well-beyond his experience level, IMO. Good for him. And everyone else, as I said earlier (Seth, Rey, Murphy) have also done great. And kudos to the writers for once, too. We roast the writers alot because unfortunately it is deserved alot of the time. But in regards to this storyline, they've done a tremendous job.
